Although taking this pill won't make her turn from a steamed bun into a meat bun instantly, she will grow bigger within a month, and the changes will be visible to the naked eye every day.

Body-slimming pills, as the name suggests, are body regulators. Taking them will adjust your body to the most perfect proportions.

Xu Jinyi is looking forward to the results in a month.

When Liuxiang came back after making tea, she saw that Mrs. Xu had already left. In front of Xu Jinyi were the ten maids that came with her as a dowry, and the rest had been dealt with.

These people were all loyal to her and were carefully selected by her mother to send her into the palace.

Now, everyone has wounds on their hands and faces that were ravaged in Xinzheku.

"Xi'er, take them downstairs and let the imperial physician come over to take a look."

When Jiang Yan woke up, she immediately panicked and shook Jingqiu's hand tightly: "Where is the emperor? Has the emperor come?"

Jiang Yan was scared after getting a negative answer. She couldn't let the emperor really favor other women. She couldn't!

As she said that, she asked Jingqiu to dress her up nicely, making her look weak and sympathetic at first glance.

Fortunately, after a day, her face had mostly recovered.

He asked Jingqiu to stay and went into the secret passage to the Yangxin Palace alone.

The exit of this secret passage is right next to the dragon bed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to approach.

So when Jiang Yan appeared in the Yangxin Palace, no one noticed even though the emperor was not there.

The emperor came back from court and walked in with a look of pain on his face.

He has really lost a lot of money in the past two days. The border town is facing a war and the military pay needs to be increased. He just allocated a large sum of money from the national treasury.

There are droughts and earthquakes everywhere, but we still have to allocate money to disaster relief and provide porridge.

As a result, the national treasury showed signs of weakness. Today, General Chen still proposed allocating funds to build a reservoir, but the national treasury had no money left.

Fortunately, Duke Liu took the lead in donating money to the national treasury, and other ministers had to donate as well.

Although it is a drop in the bucket, it is better than nothing.

Duke Liu was his maternal grandfather's family, so the emperor entrusted the matters of disaster relief and military pay to him.

Building reservoirs and the like not only costs money, but just because there's a drought this year doesn't mean there will be another drought next year.

If it is repaired, the place will no longer be dry, which would be a waste of money.

So the emperor simply rejected General Chen's proposal.

He was already worried, but when he saw his lover in the curtain, all his worries disappeared.

"Yan'er, you're here. How's your injury? Does it still hurt?"

Jiang Yan found that the emperor's attitude towards her was the same as before, and she felt much more relieved.

She came forward and leaned against his chest weakly, crying with tears in her eyes, aggrieved and choked with sobs: "I thought Your Majesty didn't like Yan'er anymore, and that's why you didn't come to visit her."

"Your Majesty, you said you loved Yan'er the most, but you didn't even come to see me when Yan'er was injured, and you even took away my favorite vase."

Jiang Yan felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and finally she started crying.

The emperor wiped away Jiang Yan's tears distressedly: "Yan'er, don't cry. Your crying makes my heart break."

"You are the one I love the most. How could I not know that I have wronged you? When I saw you being beaten, I was so distressed that I almost let the imperial concubine see the clues."

Jiang Yan raised her head: "You can see it, Your Majesty, I don't want the concubine to be a shield anymore. I want to have your favor openly and honestly."

"I am not afraid of those women in the harem. For you, I am willing to do it."

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up, and she felt that this method was feasible.

She openly enjoys the emperor's favor and has a higher status than the imperial concubine. Who can bully her or beat her with a stick?

It's better than being under the imperial concubine now, having great favor but not being able to speak, and not being able to put anything on the table.

I can only imagine how everyone would look when they knew she was the emperor’s favorite and most favored person.

The imperial concubine was crying in agony, and Jiang Yan looked at the emperor excitedly.

The emperor touched her hair and did not agree with this approach.

"Yan'er, please wait a little longer and be patient. We can't let the imperial concubine find out about us right now."

"I still need her support. When I regain power from the regent, I will definitely make you my queen."

"We are already halfway there, and my men have already entered the military camp. We cannot afford to fail at this moment."

"Yan'er, for my sake, please be patient."

Jiang Yan looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes and disappointment: "Your Majesty, how can I endure this? If I wasn't so tough, I might have died at the hands of the imperial concubine."

"Your Majesty always says he loves me, but he always asks me to endure. Now that I've been beaten like this, does Your Majesty still want me to endure?"

Jiang Yan was very sad. She began to doubt whether the emperor really liked her, otherwise why would he watch her being beaten without doing anything.

In his heart, power is more important, right?!

I couldn't help but feel resentment towards the emperor.

The emperor frowned slightly and sighed deeply: "Yan'er, now that it has come to this, I cannot give up. As long as the regent is not removed, I will not be able to stay in this position safely."

"Without real power, how can I protect you? If you become the enemy of the entire harem, what will I do if something happens?"

"I do feel sorry for you, but for the sake of our future, I have no choice but to put you in this difficult position."

When he said this, the emperor couldn't help feeling sad, and his eyes turned red.

He stroked Jiang Yan's face and said lovingly, "As the ruler of a country, I cannot be with the woman I love openly. Isn't it aggrieved that I am not?"

"Does it make me feel better just to see you being bullied? Doesn't it hurt me too if you're in pain?"

Jiang Yan burst into tears, threw herself into the emperor's arms, and apologized for her previous willfulness.

“Your Majesty, Yan’er will listen to you and wait until everything is settled and you succeed.”

The emperor hugged her back, and the two of them looked like a couple who were forcibly separated.

The emperor wiped the tears from Jiang Yan's face and kissed her. The moment they fell on the dragon bed, Jiang Yan let out a scream of pain.

The emperor immediately lost all his romantic thoughts.

Even the desire to be angry just now disappeared.

Jiang Yan grimaced in pain and hated Xu Jinyi even more, tears streaming down her face again.

"It's my fault. Does the wound hurt?"

The emperor lifted her dress and took a look. Seeing her bloody body made him gasp and feel heartbroken.

"What is the imperial physician doing? How can the injury be so serious?"

Of course, Jiang Yan would not miss any opportunity to slander Xu Jinyi, and quickly told him what happened when he paid his respects in the morning.

She brought up the matter of sleeping with the emperor arranged by Xu Jinyi, and her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the emperor as if he were a heartless man.

The emperor loved Jiang Yan the most because she was weak and in need of protection, so he immediately expressed his loyalty when he approached her.

"Don't worry, Yan'er. I don't want anyone else except you. As long as he is not born from your womb, I will not allow him to exist."
